Needed: Security Measures for BPO Employees

While enjoying my mom’s Mexican recipes, I scanned the net for BPO news from India and realized that crime directed towards employees of outsourcing companies have increased and reached alarming levels. Female employees travelling to and from their offices late at night have become vulnerable to stick ups artists, some of whom are violent. The solution is easy but a bit costly. Company transport and accredited cabs can drastically increase the safety margin for the employees. Personal protection lessons should also be given more emphasis and become a part of an employee’s performance appraisal criteria.
